About HKSA
Swim With Integrity & Meaning — giving back to the community through swimming.
The Wave Makers
We want to give back to society and continually strive to be more compassionate, empathetic and giving to those less fortunate than ourselves. In doing so, we created our SWIM (Swim With Integrity and Meaning) program to help build awareness and donate free swimming classes to the underprivileged.
The Wave Makers
We have been lucky to partner with the Society for Community Organisation (SoCO) because we share common values. Formed in 1972, SoCO is an incorporated, non-profit-making and non-governmental community organisation that firmly believes everyone should be entitled to equal rights. We also hope to inspire and pass on these important life values to our members.
Help us make waves!
R.U.N
One of HKSA's very own head coaches, Janet Wu, has been dedicating her time to an NGO called R.U.N (then, Free to Run) for the past two years. Janet has been actively coaching women refugees in Hong Kong and is passionate about integrating HKSA's mission and goals alongside her work with R.U.N refugees. HKSA hopes to continue their work with R.U.N by incorporating new swimming programmes for teenager refugees in Hong Kong.
One year ago, Janet generously reached out to RUN NGO and has kickstarted a swimming program to teach 30 adult refugee women victims of trauma on a weekly basis. The majority of the refugee women had never been in a pool, and thanks to Janet's coaching they all acquired basic skills in just a few weeks. Janet's calm, professional and systematic approach makes swimming easy even for adult beginners.

Project CFA, which is jointly organised by Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation Hong Kong Chapter, Children's Heart Foundation and the Swimming School (Hong Kong Swimming Academy) established and founded by Hong Kong former swimmer Mr. Fong and his partners, is officially launched. The project aims to provide swimming classes to children with congenital heart disease (CHD) to help them discover a better and brighter life. It is a 2-year partnership programme launched in April 2019, with Mr. Alex Fong served as the Head Coach. After 16 sessions of swimming training, 12 children with CHD who joined the Project have not only overcome their fear of water, but also become confident and passionate about swimming. They have all completed the challenge successfully and achieved a 'breakthrough in water'.

'Water' has always been a mark of success for Alex until his visit to Gansu Province in China with the charity A Drop of Life in 2007. He witnessed the difficulties of those struggling with water shortage, and also learned about how simple interventions such as building a water cellar could significantly improve the life of an entire community.
